Scary Cat Cookies Food

SCARY CAT COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheets with shortening.
• In small saucepan, melt chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in melted chocolate, flour, vanilla and egg.
• Shape dough into 30 (1-inch) balls. Pull a little bit of dough from each of 15 balls to make tails; set aside. Cut about 1/4-inch slit in same balls, using scissors. Separate dough at slit for cat's ears. Place balls about 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
• Place remaining balls below each cat head on cookie sheets for body. Shape small pieces of dough into 15 (2 1/2-inch-long) ropes. Place end of rope under each body.
• Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool 30 minutes.
• Use sprinkles to make eyes and baking bits to make noses. Add yellow licorice pieces for whiskers. Add pink licorice for tongues.

CAT SCAT COOKIES

Steps:

• Place honey in a heat-proof bowl and microwave on high heat until bubbles appear, about a minute; add butter and stir until combined. Add flour, cocoa powder, egg and vanilla and stir to combine.
• Form dough into small, log-shaped cookies of random lengths to resemble cat dukies. Place logs on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm. Roll chilled logs in Grape nuts until cereal adheres to the dough -- the cookies don't have to be totally covered with the cereal, they should look sort of random or realistic.
• Place on ungreased baking sheets and bake in a preheated 350° oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and place cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Line a clean litter box with foil and cover bottom with additional Grape Nuts cereal. Add cookies to the 'litter' and serve with a new (clean) litter scoop. LOL.

HALLOWEEN CAT COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt and gelatin; set aside. In separate medium bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until blended. Beat in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk on low speed, half of each at a time, until soft dough forms. Stir in orange peel.
• Onto lined cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely before decorating.
• To Decorate Cookies: Into 1-pint resealable food-storage plastic bag, add chocolate frosting; reseal bag. Cut 1/8-inch opening diagonally across bottom corner of bag. Pipe cat face onto center of cookies, smoothing out frosting with small spatula as necessary. For each cookie, press into frosting 2 green milk chocolate candies for eyes, 1 orange milk chocolate candy half for nose and 6 coconut shreds for whiskers. Using chocolate frosting, pipe thin line down center of green candies, creating pupils for eyes. Using red icing, pipe on mouth. Store in airtight container.
